one thing that sucks about being a tech critic is seeing all the ways people justify tech addition and the use of services that are socially harmful and degrade not just labor rights but the wider society because they’ve personally developed a dependence and can’t see any other way of doing things

No presidential candidate is perfect.
However, the current president is a fascist.
Given the current situation, shit talking about the Clintons, President Obama, President Biden, and Vice President Harris just shows that you don’t understand the danger the world is in.

Imagine telling this to Iranians right now. Or women under Taliban rule. While 90K of them were slaughtered by the Islamic Regime occupying their country. Westerners sound so out of touch. We have no idea how fortunate we are. It doesn't mean we can't complain & try to fix our issues, but seriously!

It’s easy to think writing is mainly the transcription of ideas you already have—that is, until you try to write something worthwhile, and you find what you thought were saying transform into something far more interesting in the process. This skips that last step, and that is *not* an improvement.
